Rearrange the jumbled parts to form a coherent sentence. P: a sell-off as US Treasury yields; Q: surged to multi-year highs; R: on robust economic data; S: global markets also witnessed
- (a)R S Q P
- (b)P Q S R
- (c)Q R P S
- (d)S P Q R
Correct — D, S P Q R. Read in order the parts form 'Global markets also witnessed a sell-off as US Treasury yields surged to multi-year highs on robust economic data.' S opens with the subject and verb ('global markets also witnessed'), P names the object plus the linker 'as' ('a sell-off as US Treasury yields'), Q gives the yields' action ('surged to multi-year highs'), and R states the cause ('on robust economic data').
- (a)R S Q P — Starting with R ('on robust economic data') places a cause phrase first with nothing for it to attach to.
- (b)P Q S R — Opening with P ('a sell-off as US Treasury yields') begins with the object and leaves the subject clause S stranded in the middle.
- (c)Q R P S — Beginning with Q ('surged to multi-year highs') gives a verb with no subject and pushes 'global markets also witnessed' to the end.
A jumbled-sentence item: the subject-verb clause opens, then 'as' links the cause, whose action and driver follow in order.
